Research direction
Start with the unchecked algorithm list in the issue, especially Lyra2 and yescrypt, and review the linked bcrypt discussion and passlib algorithm index. Compare the existing project implementations with the algorithms still listed as missing. Done means agreeing on an algorithm scope and adding the selected password-hashing implementations with appropriate validation.
